When Receiver Moore knocked down the sale of Cosden Oil Co. to Josh S. Cosden here recently Mr. Cosden's answer to West Texans' lusty whoops was not, "All I have to say is if anybody has $501,000 they can have the thing...
Contrary, too, to TIME'S interesting account of the Cosden sale-and-purchase (TIME, April 10), and to reports published locally, Cosden leaped not from the shoes of a Maryland drug clerk but from the more thinly-soled footgear of a small-town newspaper reporter into the shiny boots of an Oklahoma oilaire.

Having two weeks ago postponed its debt problem by declining to call the 4th Liberty Loan for refunding (TIME, April 24), the U. S. Treasury last week took action on at least part of its problem: offered for sale $500,000,000 of 2⅞% three-year Treasury notes.

He provided himself with his own steel mills, his own glass works, his own credit corporation for financing retail sales, even his own railroad (the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton)-all the elements of a great vertical combination, except that for the most part they were, not combined, but erected. More recently he has apparently reversed his intent. As early as 1929 he disposed of his railroad. Last week he was actively dickering for the sale of his retail...
